[He can do this. Who cares if people think he's weird for this? He has people who don't think that, too. He turns on the video and smiles a tiny bit, before speaking.]

So I'm just wondering... a couple of things, really. First of all, how many people are here who are under the age of twenty? It feels like that's a lot of people here - more than you'd usually see in any kind of population. Has anyone tracked that kind of stuff?

And second...

[Here we go.]

How many people had what people might call... powers or abilities or magic at home? Like, stuff that most people can't do but you can do? I'm not counting if you come from some kind of world where magic is common, but where it's rare and people would stare at you for doing it, that's what I mean.

[... He's kind of run out of steam.]

Th... that's what I was wondering. Let me know. I'm not trying to like... track people down or something. I'm just curious.

[He flicks the video off and goes to get a drink of water. That was kind of scary.]

At least you don't know how they work to use them. Just how to use them.

Pretty much. I'm not really great with science anyway.

Not everybody has to be, right? Ahh, what are you good at, though?

I -

[That was not a question he was expecting.]

I'm okay at drawing. And I'm really good at working with bird Pokemon. And... I guess making battle plans?

Those are good talents. I bet you've got some really happy birds, huh.

I try. Regal and I have -

[SUDDENLY BRAVIARY FACE IN THE CAMERA. Tobias nudges his giant head out of the frame.]

- yes I was talking about you. Anyway, Regal and I have been together since I got here.

[...Okay that gets a chuckle.]

Ahaha, you two look really close.

I think so. He's really loyal and has kept me safe.

Definitely looks really well taken care of, too. I'd say you're a good pair.

I'd like to think so. It took him a while to get strong, but he can take on almost anything now.

... Unless it's a really bad type matchup, I guess.

Can't avoid those sometimes. I'm not sure you can even train them to be less affected by them. Not that Rose hasn't tried to reduce hers, I'm sure...

Yeah. Electric types wreck most of my team...

I can see that. ...Ahh, if you're trying to stick with a Flying theme, I think Gligars are part Ground? I mean, they're not really all that bird-like, but...

I don't think I've ever seen one of those. What are they like?

I've only read about them, myself, you tend to see a lot of stuff about species you don't run into on a daily basis when you work at the Centers... But they're kind of bat-like, I guess? Except they have a stinger like a scorpion. Ground/Flying, though.

I'll have to keep an eye out for them. Thanks.

No problem. Not sure where they live, but occasionally breeders have eggs for them on the network, so...

There's a lot of those, I've noticed. Mine haven't done that yet, but I'm sure they're just biding their time.

If, or when, they do, hope they start small.

Me too. I already have enough Pokemon to deal with.

...Ahh, just so you're warned? Every time I dare think that, I end up with five more within a month. I mean, it could be just me, but...

I think it's probably everyone here, honestly.

Well, yeah, probably... but still.
